Judy Collins has inspired audiences with sublime vocals, boldly vulnerable songwriting, personal life triumphs, and a firm commitment to social activism. In the 1960s, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. The Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter is esteemed for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards and her own poetically poignant original compositions.

Her stunning rendition of Joni Mitchell's 'Both Sides Now' from her landmark 1967 album, 'Wildflowers,' has been entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Judy's dreamy and sweetly intimate version of 'Send in the Clowns,' a ballad written by Stephen Sondheim for the Broadway musical 'A Little Night Music,' won 'Song of the Year' at the 1975 Grammy Awards. She's garnered several top-ten hits and gold- and platinum-selling albums.

Recently, contemporary and classic artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Shawn Colvin, Arlo Gutherie, Joan Baez, and Leonard Cohen honored her legacy with the album 'Born to the Breed: A Tribute to Judy Collins.'
